𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘 ↷ na jaemin.

~ Chapter 46 ~

The following day, Jaemin was practicing what he would say to Haneul when he sees her. And right now, he really didn't know. 

There was no need to practice, but Jaemin wanted everything to be perfect. So, what other way to start than to get the greeting down?

"Hey, Haneul. How are you?" 

After a while of processing what he said, disgust washed over him. 

"Why do I sound extremely formal? Let's try again. Haneul, hey. Wait, that's similar to what I said earlier," Jaemin groaned, laying down on the bed. He turned his head, looking at the baby who was playing with a toy. 

"What do I say to your mama when I see her?" Jaemin asked, picking the baby up. 

"Mama?" the baby asked, his eyes tearing up. 

"Oh my God, what did I do?" Jaemin mumbled getting up and picking up the baby who was on the verge of tears. 

And eventually, Hajoon started to cry, and wouldn't stop. No matter what Jaemin did. 

"It's okay," he tried, rocking the baby, but nothing seemed to work. 

Hajoon continued to cry, and it actually broke Jaemin's heart. He knew he was crying because he missed Haneul. Jaemin did too. 

"We can see her on Friday," Jaemin mumbled, trying to calm the baby down. Still, he wouldn't stop crying. 

"Be quiet, don't cry," he tried, only making the baby cry even more. 

Jaemin stayed in his position, contemplating whether or not he should call Haneul. If he did, she probably wouldn't pick up anyway. 

The next person he thought of was Donghyuck, but he would probably be busy. Besides, he wouldn't know what to do. It would be like a baby taking care of a baby. 

Jaemin laughed at the thought, then stopped, realizing that was him too. "Oh."

The next option he had was Jeno. Maybe Jeno would be the best to call, but of course, he was busy. He had told Jaemin about his girlfriend, and how they would go on some date today. 

Sighing, Jaemin thought of his only option. Chenle and Jisung. Surprisingly, they were good at taking care of Hajoon. Well, at least they were better than Jaemin for sure. 

Hajoon's cries became louder, as Jaemin tried harder to calm him down. But still, nothing seemed to work. 

He quickly walked over to the nightstand and picked up his phone, going to his contacts, and calling who he thought was Chenle. 

"Hey Chenle, I was wondering if you can take care of Hajoon? He's crying, and I don't know what to do. I know, the baby is my responsibility, but I know you like taking care of kids, and-"

"Um...Jaemin, this isn't Chenle."

After hearing that voice, Jaemin automatically knew who it was. 

"Fuck."
